Campground Reviews

Staff was so friendly and helpful! Beautiful grounds with lots to do and a reasonable drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Would love to visit again!

Loved our stay. Cabin was very clean. Appliances and bathroom were updated. Campsite did our towels for us, which was a nice surprise. Quiet, clean and friendly site!

We had a great time

The perfect place to stay to visit Acadia National Park. Beautifull view on the Water.

Expensive full-hookup sites are extremely close to other campers, in a field, & have a very narrow one lane road to maneuver thru when backing into the site. Forget having a campfire - too close to neighboring vehicles because sites are not big enough to accomodate the towing vehicle. Wifi only worked 1 out of 5 days. Gravel sites & narrow road are not maintained for pot holes.

Staff was very friendly and helpful with things to do and see in the area.

The sites on the water are breathtaking! Staff is VERY helpful, friendly and hard at work making sure all is right. Nice job!

Amazing view! Our campsite was in the water and was absolutely priceless! The people were so nice and helpful. Restrooms were very clean.

Still working on and improving the camp ground. If you can, stay at site 255 and walk right out into the Ocean.

My family stayed on site 364 l for five nights. The view was breathtaking and beyond peaceful. This was by far the nicest campground we have ever stayed at. It was conveniently located near Bar Harbor and Acadia and had complimentary shuttle service running on the hour. The staff was friendly and accommodating.We never repeat a trip, but have already agreed we will be back to the Oceanside KOA.

We had the perfect location right on the water. Beautiful sunsets. The shuttle was not running yet. Since the shuttle is advertised on the site the limited time frame should be included. Great camp store and friendly people. Loved it!!!

I wish I knew that I was not going to have cable. I would asked for a different site.

Jul 01, 2017

I had some power issues but overall the people were very friendly and I would go back if I'm in the area.

I was disappointed with my campsite. I paid for the ocean view tent site. Only one of the available sites had a full ocean view. The remaining sites had views between the trees, which I guess is technically an ocean view. The tent site was almost $100 per night, so I guess I was just expecting more. I have stayed at multiple KOA sites, this summer alone, this tent site cost almost 5x as much.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are sorry you did not enjoy your stay. We continue to strive to provide sites that balance guests enjoyment, while keeping the waterfront ecologically sound by not cutting down all the foliage that may inhibit views. Your site, while not on the oceans edge is priced less than the one you mentioned (405) that is waterfront. Thank you for your input.

Beautiful campground with friendly staff!

Everything was nice. Lobster dinners reasonable. Only thing is if you cannot provide full hookups the pump out of tanks should be part if the daily fee.

Beautiful Campground right on the bay. Gorgeous sunsets over the water. Camp hosts are all very friendly and knowledgeable.

Fantastique, sites près de l'eau!

Jun 29, 2017

Outstanding campsite. Well maintained lots with excellent views of the water. Close to town and Acadia NP.

Loved the location, rented the air stream for two nights, would do it again

This is a great place to stay!

We enjoyed the area and the grounds of the KOA but were not told of the pool and hot tub at the "sister" KOA up the road. We would have liked to jump in the hot tub at the end of the day.

Jun 28, 2017

My stay at Oceanside KOA was with excellent, from the time I pulled in, I was escorted to my site, to delivering firewood. Always quick to help with diections to scenic sites or great restaurants in the area. It's a piece of paridise.

Jun 28, 2017

Staff went above and beyond to help us with tours. Onsite lobster bakes were incredible. Nice clean private showers and amazing views from oceanfront site. The sites were a little close but overall a great place to stay just outside Bar Harbor.

Jun 28, 2017

Some of the lots are very soft and uneven. The staff was very helpful getting us moved to nicer lot and even helped move coolers and chairs! Loved going to sunset patio by the ocean in the evenings!! I would highly recommend..

Jun 28, 2017

Very clean place & friendly helpful staff.My issues were with the site they gave us.I had a 32'' RV with a trailer & Jeep.Site was so small we had to park the dolly in another section of campground & Jeep partially on the road. We weren't able to have a fire as the ring was placed directly under our awning.No room to even set up lawn chairs. Power out for several hours was unexpected disappointmen

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We appreciate your feed back and hope that the 60ft. site we moved you was more to your liking for the remaining 3 of 4 days of your stay. We also moved the fire ring to its original location which makes it much more comfortable to enjoy a campfire.

We loved the view but being close to the water was a little too close. Our campfire ring was underwater three nights we were there. Our tires on the motorhome were under water on one of the nights with the high tide.Close is nice but that site should go back farther then that.The last morning we were making breakfest and all of a suden no power. They shut down and never let us know scheduled outag

Bar Harbor Oceanside KOA has friendly staff and everything you need to have an enjoyable stay at a campground. The staff delivers ice, firewood, and clean towels. The deluxe cabin we stayed in was nicely accommodated and clean. The AC worked wonderfully! The views of the ocean were beautiful and my boys loved climbing on all the rocks.

Jun 27, 2017

Staff were awesome. Bathrooms need a fresh coat of paint but everything else was perfect.

Jun 27, 2017

Poor internet regardless of discussions. Construction at worst time..should have been informed at check in.

Jun 27, 2017

Great experience. Clean bathroom and showers! One complaint: power and water were shut off on Monday morning... while I was in the shower. It would be helpful if staff could post notices on the doors before water turns off.

Jun 27, 2017

Stay was great we didn't have the best site - but the rest of the campground was beautiful. We picked our sites for our next visits.

Jun 27, 2017

Only disavantage is that when you are in the entrance Area, you can hear way too much the roadside.

Jun 27, 2017

Views are fantastic, service and support from staff was always great. Where else can you go and have fresh lobster every evening of the week, just a few steps from your Camp site.

Jun 27, 2017

The sites are rather close to each other for the price paid. Staff very friendly and accomodating.

Jun 27, 2017

felt comfortable beautiful campsite near the water

Jun 26, 2017
